Privacy is not a transaction to be bargained. Snowden and the Future – Part III: The Union, May it Be Preserved

Privacy is the same category of component of a healthy society as clean air and safe water. It is a pillar upon which the system stands.

After reading this essay, read The Circle by Dave Eggers. Not my favorite read in terms of a fiction book, but a good way to think about how brain washing results in people believing these three ludicrous lies promoted by an organization trying to know everything about everyone and making the tools to generate access to that info:
1_ Secrets are lies.
2_ Sharing is caring.
3_ Privacy is theft.
